Also while refing my game last week I think I made the right call but not sure. A1 is in backcourt and passes to A2 in frontcourt but A2 muffed the ball and rolled into the backcourt and A2 got the ball. I called nothing because I thought Team A had to have control in the frontcourt but the parents didnt agree! Did I make the right call? Not sure. Also any advice would be great! Thanks guys.

Team A did have TC in the FC. Player control in the FC is not required.
Still, many get confused. That's why I, and many others, split the requirement into 2.
Memorize these four requirements (and the trhow-in, jump ball, defense excpetions)and you'll get all the BC plays situations correct:
1) Team Control
2) Ball reaches FC
3) Team A last to touch before ball goes to BC
4) Team A first to touch after ball goes to BC
As you can see, all four rwequirements were met in your play -- so it should have been a violation.

And if I might add to Bob's comments..... as far as backcourt/frontcourt location: you are where you are, until you get to where you are going.
So, in the following situation, suppose A1 is bringing the ball up court and crosses into the front court, but is pressured and passes the ball to A2 who has jumped from the backcourt to the frontcourt and catches the ball in the air while in the frontcourt. This is a BC violation, since A2 is still considered to be in the backcourt. Had it happen to me in a game just last night.
